Subject: This book was first published in 1935, and is still a standard reference for this period of Australian history. Here the story of squatting life, in its formative years, is presented against the general background of colonial existence before the unsettling years of the gold discoveries. The author surveys both the social and political forces of the period, and proves fascinating portraits of such colourful personalities as Wentworth, Lowe and Gipps. [Inside front cover].
